The search for file names with a tilde ("" ~ ")

In Windows Explorer, how can I search for filenames containing a tilde? I tried the name: ~, but this seems to find all the files. I tried going to ADVANCED search and specifying, ~ * ~ *, ' ~ ', etc. and he always seems to find all files. "It's a drag, since all these tilde files are probably temporary which can be deleted.

Sachelis Hello,

  • search for file names with tilde character

    trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

    You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

  • How do you search a file name with parenthesis in there?

    Received a ton of files with duplicates, I need to delete.

    All the duplicate files end with '(1)' in the file name, for example: FilenameTest (1) .pdf

    I would like to find all files with '(1)' in the name of the file and then delete them, but spotlight search no parenthesis. This seems to be a documented problem (bug?). Is there a syntax or other workaround to force the spotlight to return a search with the bracket?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run the following exactly as shown:

    Tell application "Finder".

    Remove (each point of (choose folder) whose name contains '(1)')

  • Why can not only search for files that begin with a particular character or Word?

    We have always been able to do in previous versions of Windows by typing: S *. *

    In Windows 7 If this is something that has a ' anywhere in the file path or name.

    As you have discovered, Windows indexes now better informed than before. So what was once a file name filter is now a search through file names, content and more - a bit like a search engine.

    If a search for S. * may train with aSunday Slippery Slopes.docx or Fans.jpg C:\ path.

    Fortunately, you can precede your search term with the domain that you particularly interested. For example, try System.FileName: ~<> or filename:F *. *

  • Search for files based on the flow

    Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.

    I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?

    Thank you

    Hello trotskyicepick,

    Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files.  For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.

    For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer.  Now paste this query into the search engine:

    ext:MP3

    Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate.  Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list.  This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.

    Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.

    When searching for files in Windows Explorer (WIN 7), can the railways under folder reading "c:\help\me\please" instead of "Please (c:\help\me)?

    Thank you!

    What you can do is to do a search, right-click on any column heading (for example name, folder, etc.), and then click "Folder path" from the list that appears.  You can also click to turn off the folder.  The next time you're looking for in this area, this column of path of the folder should appear.  You can drag the columns in a different order also.

    I recommend two different third-party search programs, both free:

    1. search everything, which is faster if you search by file name
    (http://www.voidtools.com/)

    2. agent Ransack, which is the best for finding content, etc.

  • Problems with the "use tiny file names...". "checkbox in the settings of WebHelp box

    Given that the RH 9 is only able to run on Windows, the checkbox "Use tiny file names..." ' (see image below) can cause some unexpected problems when generating output for a unix (or linux) platform. I found this recently when generating output of web for a project that is visualized on a linux platform machine and met hundreds of broken links unexpected help.

    WebHelp Settings - User LowerCase for Unix.jpg

    If this is the first time you generate your project output, this function works very well - it converts all topics, image files and all what it takes to display help, lower case. However, if for some reason, you had generated previous outputs without this box, and now you have decided that you want all your files output in lower case, just check this box and regenerating the output will not work.

    The reason is simple - the Windows operating system does not distinguish between upper and lower case in file names (e.g., fichier.htm name is the same as the FILE name.) (HTM). UNIX (and linux) are case-sensitive and treat these files are two separate files. Therefore, HR fact not (cannot) change existing file in your folder names with this checked out and gives no message indicating such when generating the output. In this case, the only way to solve this problem is to delete the folder containing your output files and have HR to regenerate your project from scratch.

    I had an additional problem which has made things even worse. In a project for a linux platform, I have unchecked the box during the creation of project by accident (perhaps over a period of days or weeks). Then, due to another problem, I had to restore my project at an earlier stage. At this point, I discovered that my necessary help links of the files using lowercase and uppercase the filenames for all work very well.

    I've seen no mention of this in the HR documentation, so I thought that I must draw the attention of the HR community.

    Yes - just to clarify, I'm taking everything I publish on.

    Reminder - just those who publish in a Unix/Linux warning environment if you need to change the case of file names in your folder you post on and you already have stuff in there with the same name, you will need to delete the files first before you republish.

  • Using synonyms in the search for name

    Hello

    I try to use synonyms in an oracle namesearch. Set up a seqarch name as in the second example described in the developer's guide to the oracle text to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18283_01/text.112/e16594/search.htm application

    Now the name, for I am looking can hold one '&', for example 'B & V '.

    I would like to find this text when I enter "B & V", B & V' or 'B and V.

    I found a thread on how to set up a thesaurus with synonyms for '&' and 'and' to 'and' and ampersand or special characters

    Now I'm wondering how to combine this.

    Thanks for the help in advance,
    Dirk

    Your change was correct and it works. For reserved words in the braces enclosing aims to tell Oracle Text as text rather than apply the special meaning they have as reserved words. Since "und" is not a reserved word, it didn't need to be escaped by placing braces. When you set "&", then "und" synonymously as you did the search for 'B und V' correctly found "B and V, as in the modified below demo. In this particular case, the search might work without applying the format_string, but you need to keep it in the query so that it is applied to these values in need, for example, if you searched for "B & V' or 'B & V".
